A fascinating story. I will absolutely have to read it again because I am quite convinced, that I was unable to appreciate all the little details and the foreshadowing in this first read. I was pretty confused at thr beginning with all the flashbacks and the many people that are a central part of the story and I'm sure I still haven't put everything together, but I suppose this active mystery of trying to figure out the connections and the history makes this book even more interesting. 

Oh and also I just really like stories about and with and by death so this checks all the boxes. 

The romances also absolutely work for me and I am glad for the ending everything got.
